Well at least he is being honest. Practically, banks will not settle on XRP if they are capable of creating their own token. Creating their own will make it remarkable. It's up to them if they will patronize a coin that isn't theirs - the only advantage is that it will be quick and easier. Nevertheless, good for them because the co-founder was not biased at all.

The possibility is high. Bitcoin supports anonymity of users. This feature allows anyone to make transactions regardless of legality and without the government regulating the transactions, criminals are free to do whatever they want. This is one of the disadvantages of bitcoin and the sad truth is we cannot control it, no one can.

According to this article, "The main feature of crypto currencies is their anonymity. I don't think this is a good thing. The Government’s ability to find money laundering and tax evasion and terrorist funding is a good thing."

Mawawalan ng saysay ang merit system kung magpapasend ka lang ng merit sa kaibigan mo. Papaano naman yung mga walang kakilala dito sa forum? Ang tanging paraan lang ay magkaroon ng makabuluhang posts at magpapansin sa mga review post nang sa gayon ay mabiyayaan ng merit.

Software wallets are free and downloadable. I use coins.ph for holding my coins. In my country, it is known and most used because it is convenient. The security of your bitcoin depends on how you handle your private keys or pins. Make sure you don't share them with anybody. If you want a really safe wallet, you can buy hardware wallets like TREZOR or Ledger Nano $.

The amount to invest vary per person. It depends on how much money you can afford to lose if let's say the company or ICO you invested in did not end up successfully. You may want to consider how risky your investment is too, so you can allocate money for it. Not all investments have the sam.e level of risk. With ICOs, you can check icorating how risky the ICOs are.  

That is very clumsy. I do hope that there will be no more cases of KYC data leaks. People trusted that this people will handle their private information carefully but look what happened, it's a mess. I recently signed up for KYC and I am hoping that my info is being handled well and will be secured.

Bitcoin is the pilot coin. Compared to other coins, it is the one that has already built its good name in the crypto world. Fluctuations occur because bitcoin is naturally volatile. This is just one phase of bitcoin where investors can grab the chance of purchasing more bitcoins before it elevate in price. Do not let the FUDs take over. Bitcoin will recover soon, it surely will.

Bitcoin is volatile. It is its nature. It will always be unstable and its price will fluctuate every single time. It is easily influenced by events and FUDs so don't ever think that it will be stable one day. If that ever happens, despite of its low chance, then crypto market will remain stagnant and the crypto world will be dead.

I definitely agree to this. Blockchain is man-made. Human cannot make anything 100% perfect, with no errors and undestructible. Blockchain only helps in reducing the number of mediocre hackers which leaves the veteran hackers. They are the one that can suffice the hacking of blockchains.

In some countries, bitcoin is legal while some banned it. In my case, my country is in between. There is really no law or regulation regarding it which means we are allowed to use it. The government only warns us to be careful dealing with bitcoin and people online because there are several scams nowadays.

I think it is a perfect time that you invest to bitcoin. Grab tbe opportunity today. With bitcoin price so low, you can collect a greater amount of it compared to its price when it is high. You can also divert to other altcoins so that you can broaden your portfolio.

I admire your skill on analyzing the next step bitcoin will take through technicalities. Not all have that and it is quite hard to possess them. I also believe that bitcoin will pump on the coming months but not exactly sure which month. I am looking forward to bitcoin and other coins pumping. I do hope the bloodbath will be over soon.

There are several applications of blockchain and one of those is payment system. It is not impossible to implement because as of now, the concept of blockchain is already becoming famous. It will be a good idea to implement payments and onerous auditing through blockchain because it will provide ease, convenience and transparency among the company and the customers.

I am pretty sure that the uses of cryptocurrency will broaden in the coming years. As of now, there are still a few countries which haven't adapted cryptocurrencies yet. But they need to accept for a fact that the world is advancing and they need to cope up for them not to get left behind, because getting left behind might threaten their country economically and socially.

Crypto market is volatile. Even the slightest happenings in this forum affect the price of coins. Other people's post reflect their point of views at certain topic which affect the thinking of other people who read it too. This is how great bitcointalk forum is. It's influence to the market is extremely high.

I didn't like it too, at first. I was hesitant on giving my identification cards to exchanges at first because I feel like its invading my identity. I want to remain my pseudonimity but policy is policy. The people I know told me that I do not have to worry about KYC because they won't use my ID for purposes other than verifying that I am a real person. I guess Bitstamp is just following their regulations and given that it is a reliable website, no need to worry. Future exchanges will comply to KYC policy soon, as far as I can observe in the previous ICOs that have ended.

Maybe because the correction period usually occurs at the start of the year. After all the crypto hype last year, the prices of coins is adjusting right now. The dip in bitcoin and ethereum price greatly affects other coins which causes all the other new coins' price.

I understand that you are getting fond of earning money but finishing college must be your top priority. Bitcoin will indeed end its life span but not too soon. Do not be threatened because bitcoin won't be extinct with just 4-5 years. You can still finish college. If you manage your time well then you can do both. Just be sure that this won't afflict your academics.

Haven't encountered an epic fail bounty manager. Usually, the developers decide whether to pause or stop the ICO. The bounty managers' responsibility only is to make sure that the bounty he is about to endorse is legitimate and is credible because his reputation also relies on the bounty campaigns he will handle.

Recently, ICOs are not as good as it was before. This is my opinion. I think there are several trash ICOs as of now, not to mention scam ICOs and such. These unreliable ICOs pose a threat on the crypto investors and may have been contributed to the dump of some coins because less and less investors trust ICOs.
